Welcome to Litsy!

Iōunn‘s story pulled me in from the first page and didn‘t let go until I finished it some hours later.

Iōunn wakes up exhausted every morning. She has no idea what causes this until her fancy new pedometer watch reveals that she‘s walking over forty thousand steps at night. From there things start spiraling in her life which seems so ordinary but isn‘t.

I am not sure about the ending but I loved this contemporary and atmospheric creepy story.

Holy shirtballs 😱 😱 😱

I read this in one sitting. The growing tension and pacing are so well crafted. Frustration at the treatment of women by the medical establishment turns into creeping unease as you learn more and more (but never everything) about what is happening. So so good.

I see this book reviewed here and noticed that either I didn't review it here or my review never "aired" back in September.

Anyway, I absolutely loved it. The translation and narration by Mary Robinette-Kowal are excellent.

It's creepy and atmospheric and I still wonder what the end was about.

My email to @BarbaraBB about this book when I finished it last night:

1. The English translation is really well done.
2. The use of negative space was incredible.
3. The suspense was superb.

4. I didn‘t get the ending at all.

Two pages in and I‘m already finding this all too relatable!!

CREEPY!!!

3.75⭐
⬗ What a peculiar little tale that kept me entranced for all of its 162 minutes. Although, this is yet another horror book with an ambiguous ending🤔🤔🤔
⬗ The narration and translation by Mary Robinette Kowal were fantastic.

This might be my last book for #HauntedShelf. The Night Guest was a really good thriller. I read it in one sitting as it's only 194 pages. The pacing is excellent. It slowly builds up the tension until it has you by the throat. 4.5 stars.
